Casting your net for gala entertainment

Selecting gala entertainment can be a tricky task to master, particularly if you are not al that adept at choosing the right gala entertainment to match the right event. Geared primarily to social affairs, especially weddings, ask yourself the following questions to plan your next corporate and civic functions as well:

• Do Your Homework - Decide what feeling you want your celebration to have, and what style of gala entertainment music is appropriate Knowing your preferences will help you find your musical match.
• Although fees for special event entertainment vary, party givers often commit between l0 and 20 percent of their budget to it. Many factors affect pricing
• Cast Your Net - Once you've secured the date and location for your event, get on the phone and learn as much as you can from each gala entertainment bandleader who passes your initial screening. The professional you ultimately choose will be accountable for the success of your party.
• Who to ask, where to look - Friends and relatives with tastes and means similar to yours may recommend a gala entertainment band they've seen or hired themselves. Party professionals, like consultants and caterers, have their own favorites as well.
• Learn and Listen - Make appointments with your leading gala entertainment contenders to get an idea of the chemistry between you and them, and to further assess their ability to meet your requirements. A bandleader's presentation may include song lists, photos, testimonials, demo tapes and other credentials.
• Make Your Decision - Hire the gala entertainment bandleader who you feel is the most professional and suitable to your tastes: the one who has addressed all your concerns to your satisfaction; the one whose product seems to be commensurate with his or her fee; the one with the experience and expertise to create musical magic at your party. Don't delay!
• Contracts - When a verbal agreement has been reached, a contract will be prepared. A gala entertainment services contract should be straight forward and cover starting and ending times, number of musicians, location of engagement and financial terms.
